absolutely, the terrorists will remain in the locale where it is easiest for them to survive. why try to make a go of it in afghanistan with the 10th mountain division chasing you, when you can be inside the US and be given protections by our court systems and judges? this is exactly what they are doing. that's why when there are all these FR threads trashing the patriot acts, I can understand the objections to it, but what is the alternative? the judicial branch in the US will not protect us, we know that, we know who sits on the bench in this country. so for now, we have to put our faith in the executive branch doing the right thing.

To tell you the truth, I have less fear about the Patriot Act than I do about the freaking local county and state beaurocracies like the country building permit division. These guys are making my life hell.

Why would I care if the feds wanted to see what books I take out of the library? The Patriot Act is only dangerous to terrorists. I guess the real danger is that it could be misapplied. But if that happens, everything will be FUBAR.
